An international team of researchers is calling on healthcare AI proponents to be more mindful of the technology’s unsuitability across much of the developing world. 

The authors tested out a variety of machine learning techniques, including large language models and more traditional algorithms. They focused on data that can be gathered prior to treatment, ensuring cardiologists know as much as possible before the procedure.

Overpromising AI capabilities to hospital stakeholders—now there’s a mistake healthcare AI enthusiasts have been known to make.
